+Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have become essential for grounding LLM outputs in factual content. However, production deployments face seven critical fallacies that current frameworks fail to address: (1) the Flat Chunk Fallacy, treating all content equally regardless of structural importance; (2) Context Amnesia, losing metadata when chunks are extracted; (3) Time-Blind Retrieval, ignoring content freshness; (4) Flat Context, lacking priority tiers for different context types; (5) Official Truth Fallacy, favoring documentation over practical knowledge; (6) Brutal Squeeze, using lossy summarization instead of precision truncation; and (7) the Middleware Gap, trusting third-party routers with sensitive data.
+
+We present \textbf{Context-as-a-Service (\caas{})}, an open-source framework that systematically addresses these challenges through five novel components: (a) \textbf{Structure-Aware Indexing} with three-tier value hierarchies; (b) \textbf{Context Triad} for Hot/Warm/Cold intimacy-based prioritization; (c) \textbf{Pragmatic Truth} tracking that surfaces practical knowledge alongside official sources; (d) \textbf{Heuristic Router} for zero-latency deterministic query routing; and (e) \textbf{Trust Gateway} for enterprise-grade on-premises deployment.
+
+We evaluate \caas{} on a new benchmark corpus of 16 enterprise documents spanning code, legal, HR, and engineering domains. Our experiments demonstrate \textbf{28.1\% improvement in Precision@5} and \textbf{27.9\% improvement in NDCG@10} over flat-chunk baselines, with sub-millisecond routing latency (0.003ms) and only 18.4\% latency overhead for the full pipeline. \caas{} is available as an open-source Python package with MIT license, Docker support, and a public Hugging Face dataset for reproducibility.

+\section{Introduction}
+\label{sec:intro}
+% ============================================================================
+
+\subsection{The RAG Revolution and Its Hidden Pitfalls}
+
+Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as the dominant paradigm for grounding Large Language Model (LLM) outputs in factual, domain-specific knowledge~\cite{lewis2020rag}. By retrieving relevant documents at inference time, RAG systems overcome the knowledge cutoff limitations of pre-trained models while enabling deployment in enterprise settings where proprietary data must remain private.
+
+Yet beneath the surface of this revolution lies a troubling reality: \textbf{most production RAG systems are fundamentally broken}. Not in obvious ways that cause immediate failures, but in subtle architectural choices that degrade quality, waste resources, and---most critically---erode user trust over time.
+
+\subsection{The Seven Fallacies of Production RAG}
+
+Through extensive deployment experience and analysis of existing frameworks, we identify \textbf{seven critical fallacies} that plague production RAG systems:
+
+\paragraph{1. The Flat Chunk Fallacy (Structure Problem)}
+The standard approach---split documents into fixed-size chunks, embed them, and retrieve by vector similarity---treats all content as equally valuable. But a class definition in source code carries fundamentally different weight than a TODO comment. By flattening this hierarchy, we lose the structural signals that humans naturally use to prioritize information.
+
+\paragraph{2. Context Amnesia (Metadata Problem)}
+When a chunk is extracted from its parent document, it loses critical context. Consider the retrieved text: ``It increased by 5\%.'' What increased? Revenue? Costs? Without metadata preserving the document path, the chunk is semantically orphaned.
+
+\paragraph{3. Time-Blind Retrieval (Temporal Problem)}
+Traditional retrieval optimizes for semantic similarity, ignoring that a 2021 procedure may be dangerously outdated in 2025.
+
+\paragraph{4. The Flat Context Fallacy (Priority Problem)}
+Most systems treat the user's last message and historical archives from two years ago with equal priority.
+
+\paragraph{5. The Official Truth Fallacy (Source Problem)}
+Enterprise documentation often contains aspirational information, while the engineering Slack channel contains the practical truth.
+
+\paragraph{6. The Brutal Squeeze (Context Management Problem)}
+When conversation history exceeds context limits, AI-powered summarization loses critical nuance.
+
+\paragraph{7. The Middleware Gap (Trust Problem)}
+No enterprise CISO will send proprietary data through a random middleware startup's API.
+
+\subsection{Our Contribution: Context-as-a-Service}
+
+We present \textbf{Context-as-a-Service (\caas{})}, an open-source framework that systematically addresses all seven fallacies:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+    \item \textbf{Structure-Aware Indexing}: Three-tier value hierarchy (High/Medium/Low)
+    \item \textbf{Metadata Injection}: Automatic enrichment with document path and temporal metadata
+    \item \textbf{Time-Based Decay}: Exponential decay with configurable half-life parameters
+    \item \textbf{Context Triad}: Hot/Warm/Cold classification by intimacy
+    \item \textbf{Pragmatic Truth}: Parallel tracking of official and informal sources
+    \item \textbf{Sliding Window}: FIFO truncation instead of lossy summarization
+    \item \textbf{Trust Gateway}: On-premises deployment with zero data leakage
+\end{enumerate}
+
+% ============================================================================
+\section{Related Work}
+\label{sec:related}
+% ============================================================================
+
+\paragraph{Retrieval-Augmented Generation}
+The foundation of modern RAG traces to Lewis et al.~\cite{lewis2020rag}, who introduced the paradigm of combining retrieval with generation. Subsequent work by Guu et al.~\cite{guu2020realm} demonstrated retrieval-augmented pre-training benefits. \caas{} differs by focusing on \textbf{serving-time context management} rather than the retrieval mechanism itself.
+
+\paragraph{The Accumulation Paradox}
+A growing body of work reveals a counterintuitive phenomenon we term the \textbf{Accumulation Paradox}: adding more context can paradoxically \emph{degrade} rather than improve performance. Liu et al.~\cite{liu2023lost} demonstrated this in their ``Lost in the Middle'' study, showing U-shaped performance curves where models ignore information in long context middles. Xiao et al.~\cite{xiao2024streaming} showed window attention fails when context exceeds cache size, introducing the ``attention sink'' phenomenon. Li et al.~\cite{li2024longcontext} demonstrated that even purpose-built long-context LLMs struggle with accumulated context. For agentic AI, Packer et al.~\cite{packer2023memgpt} (MemGPT) showed raw context accumulation cannot sustain long-running agents. \caas{} addresses this through time-based decay and the Context Triad.
+
+\paragraph{Document Structure}
+Hierarchical document understanding has been explored in summarization~\cite{cohan2018hierarchical} and document-level NLP. \caas{} applies this through our three-tier value hierarchy using \textbf{deterministic heuristics} rather than learned representations.
+
+\paragraph{Temporal Retrieval}
+Kasai et al.~\cite{kasai2022realtime} introduced RealTime QA, demonstrating time-sensitive retrieval needs. \caas{} implements \textbf{explicit time-based decay} with configurable half-life parameters.
+
+\paragraph{Source Attribution}
+Recent work on attribution~\cite{menick2022citation} addresses tracing content to sources. \caas{}'s Pragmatic Truth module extends this by tracking \textbf{conflicts between sources}.
+
+\paragraph{Context Window Management}
+Common approaches include summarization~\cite{chevalier2023compression}, but these introduce lossy transformations. \caas{} uses \textbf{FIFO sliding window management} instead.

+\subsection{System Overview}
+
+Figure~\ref{fig:architecture} illustrates the \caas{} architecture. Documents flow through ingestion, structure parsing, metadata injection, and time decay before entering the indexed store with three-tier value hierarchy.
+
+\begin{figure}[t]
+    \centering
+    \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{figures/fig1_system_architecture.png}
+    \caption{\caas{} system architecture showing the complete pipeline from ingestion through the Trust Gateway.}
+    \label{fig:architecture}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Structure-Aware Indexing}
+
+We classify document content into three value tiers based on document type and structural patterns:
+
+\begin{table}[h]
+\centering
+\caption{Value tier definitions by document type}
+\label{tab:tiers}
+\begin{tabular}{lllll}
+\toprule
+\textbf{Tier} & \textbf{Code} & \textbf{Legal} & \textbf{Policy} & \textbf{Docs} \\
+\midrule
+HIGH & Class/func defs & Liability & Core reqs & API endpoints \\
+MEDIUM & Docstrings & Terms & Guidelines & Examples \\
+LOW & Imports, TODOs & Boilerplate & Formatting & Metadata \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+During retrieval, we apply multiplicative weights:
+\begin{equation}
+\text{score}(c) = \text{similarity}(q, c) \times w_{\text{tier}}(c)
+\end{equation}
+where $w_{\text{HIGH}} = 1.5$, $w_{\text{MEDIUM}} = 1.0$, $w_{\text{LOW}} = 0.5$.
+
+\subsection{Time-Based Decay}
+
+We apply time-based decay using an exponential function:
+\begin{equation}
+\text{decay}(t) = e^{-\lambda t}
+\end{equation}
+where $t$ is time since document update (days), $\lambda = \ln(2) / T_{1/2}$, and $T_{1/2}$ is the configurable half-life parameter.
+
+\begin{table}[h]
+\centering
+\caption{Domain-specific half-lives}
+\label{tab:halflife}
+\begin{tabular}{lll}
+\toprule
+\textbf{Domain} & \textbf{Half-Life} & \textbf{Rationale} \\
+\midrule
+Code/Engineering & 90 days & APIs change frequently \\
+Policy/HR & 365 days & Annual updates \\
+Legal & 730 days & Longer contract validity \\
+Incidents & 30 days & Recent most relevant \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+\subsection{Context Triad}
+
+We organize context into three intimacy-based tiers (Figure~\ref{fig:triad}):
+
+\begin{figure}[t]
+    \centering
+    \includegraphics[width=0.9\columnwidth]{figures/fig2_context_triad.png}
+    \caption{Context Triad: Hot/Warm/Cold prioritization with token budgets.}
+    \label{fig:triad}
+\end{figure}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item \textbf{\hot{}} (2,000 tokens): Current conversation, last 10 turns
+    \item \textbf{\warm{}} (1,000 tokens): User preferences, recent documents
+    \item \textbf{\cold{}} (5,000 tokens): Historical archives, reference docs
+\end{itemize}
+
+Our philosophy: \textbf{``Chopping > Summarizing''}. Users rarely reference content from 20 minutes ago but frequently reference the exact code snippet from 30 seconds ago.
+
+\subsection{Heuristic Router}
+
+We use rule-based routing with \textbf{zero model inference}:
+
+\begin{table}[h]
+\centering
+\caption{Routing performance comparison}
+\label{tab:routing}
+\begin{tabular}{lrr}
+\toprule
+\textbf{Router} & \textbf{Latency} & \textbf{Accuracy} \\
+\midrule
+LLM-based & 450ms & 95\% \\
+ML-based & 15ms & 92\% \\
+\textbf{Heuristic (Ours)} & \textbf{0.003ms} & \textbf{89\%} \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+We trade 3-6\% accuracy for \textbf{5,000--150,000$\times$ speedup}.
+
+\subsection{Pragmatic Truth}
+
+We maintain parallel indices for official and informal sources, detecting conflicts when semantic similarity between answers falls below a threshold (0.7).
+
+\subsection{Trust Gateway}
+
+The Trust Gateway enables on-premises deployment with:
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item \textbf{Data Sovereignty}: Processing within enterprise boundaries
+    \item \textbf{Audit Logging}: Complete trace of decisions
+    \item \textbf{PII Filtering}: Optional sanitization
+    \item \textbf{Model Agnostic}: Route to any LLM provider
+\end{itemize}
+

+\subsection{Benchmark Corpus}
+
+We introduce a new benchmark corpus for evaluating enterprise RAG systems, publicly available on Hugging Face.\footnote{\url{https://huggingface.co/datasets/imran-siddique/context-as-a-service}}

+Estimated Tokens & $\sim$16,286 \\
+Formats & 5 (MD, PY, HTML, SQL, YAML) \\
+Domains & 6 (Eng, Docs, HR, Legal, Security, Business) \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+\subsection{Baselines}
+
+We compare \caas{} against:
+\begin{enumerate}
+    \item \textbf{Naive Chunking}: Fixed 500-token chunks, no structure awareness
+    \item \textbf{Semantic Chunking}: Sentence-boundary aware chunking
+    \item \textbf{No Time Decay}: Structure-aware but no temporal weighting
+    \item \textbf{No Metadata}: Structure-aware but no metadata injection
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Metrics}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item \textbf{Precision@K}: Fraction of retrieved chunks that are relevant
+    \item \textbf{NDCG@K}: Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain
+    \item \textbf{Routing Latency}: Time to classify and route a query
+    \item \textbf{Token Efficiency}: Useful tokens / Total tokens in context
